I’m a poll worker in NC and have currently been working early voting at one of our counties early voting sites.
The last two days I worked I registered two new voters. The 70 year old woman I registered to vote today has never voted in any election before in her life. We usually ask which party on the registration form they wish to be registered with. She wanted Republican. Yesterday another lady in her 60’s registered to vote for the first. She also wanted to be registered as a Republican. Two fellows in their thirties registered as Republicans and most likely voted as Republicans for the first time ever.
Last week the two days of early voting I registered a Hispanic citizen to vote and she wanted to be listed as Republican, too.
There were several others who registered to vote as Republican, last week, too.
Yes, we’ve had some registering to vote as Dems but the majority of them coming into our polling place are registering to vote as Republicans.
Thank you for working the polls. It is important for members of this community to get directly involved. I voted early in PA and have been chasing votes since — reminding friends and family I know who support Trump to vote!! In the future, I want to get more involved just like yourself. Thanks for the inspiring post!
